Death and Resurrection
  • Can’t help but think of Abraham and Isaac when I read this story. Here’s an excerpt: NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Indian police have charged 80 people for burying children alive in an ancient Hindu ceremony known as “the festival of pits.” The ceremony, in which children — some less than a year old — are buried alive briefly and then dug up, happened on Monday in southern Tamil Nadu state, [...]
    • Britain the Most Promiscuous Western Nation
  • From the Daily Mail: It appears the days when we took a strict moralistic approach towards sex are long gone. Researchers blamed the situation on a decline of religious scruples, the growth of equal rights for women and a highly sexualised popular culture. They found that when it comes to one-night stands, numbers of partners and attitudes to casual sex, Britain leads the field, ahead of even liberal nations such [...]
    • MA Senate Returns
  • From what I’m reading, we should have a good indication early, certainly by 11PM EST, though the final vote could drag on. If you want to check returns… You can check this page at Boston.com RCP is live blogging updates The NY Times is live blogging as well Personally, I think you can’t go wrong with Allahpundit 7:03 PST – 95% reporting, 52-47%. Coakley is making a decent concession right [...]
    • Murder Most Islamic
  • Al Qaeda is taking credit for the murder of former Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto, though their involvement hasn’t been confirmed yet. Bryan at Hot Air has a complete run down. The symbolism of Al Qaeda making multiple suicide attempts, killing hundreds of people in the processs, all to get to a woman who might stand up to them is terribly apt of course. They’d have gone after a man too, [...]
    • Washington Post on Obama’s Iraq Speech (Update)
  • Consider this a follow up to my post of yesterday. Now we get a response from the Washington Post editorial page and it is also not kind to Obama’s ridiculous speech: At the time he first proposed his timetable, Mr. Obama argued — wrongly, as it turned out — that U.S. troops could not stop a sectarian civil war. He conceded that a withdrawal might be accompanied by a “spike” [...]
    • Should a “Christian” Nation Accommodate Muslim Sensibilities?
  • In the last couple weeks two news stories, both oriented in the field of education, have caught my eye… 1) Carver Elementary School in Oak Park, CA (outside of San Diego) has added an Arabic language component over the last year. This was done to accommodate a group of 100 Muslim Somali students who came over to Carver after their charter school was closed. The difficulty isn’t the Arabic language [...]
    • Other “Sensibilities” Pt II-How ‘Bout Hinduism?
  • Yesterday I quickly highlighted two examples of Muslim/Islamic “sensibilities” being accommodated within the public educational system of the U.S. I wondered if/how such accommodation threatens our roots and position as a nation whose foundations are grounded within the Judeo-Christian tradition. Today pondering about “sensibilities” leads me to wonder about the philosophy of multiculturalism that has lead Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to invite a Hindu clergyman to offer the Senate’s [...]
    • The Washington Post Gets It
  • Yesterday’s lead editorial from the increasingly sensible Washington Post: It’s impossible not to be skeptical that the necessary political deals and improvements in Iraqi security forces will take place. Unless there is progress that justifies withdrawals going well beyond those he announced last night, Mr. Bush is unlikely to achieve the agreement in Washington on Iraq he said he now aims for. Still, there are no easy alternatives to the [...]
    • Washington Post Gives Obama Triple Coverage
  • This is a follow-up to this post. The Washington Post’s ombudsman, Deborah Howell, continued her investigation of the coverage of the two candidates in the paper. Here’s what she found: Democrat Barack Obama has had about a 3 to 1 advantage over Republican John McCain in Post Page 1 stories since Obama became his party’s presumptive nominee June 4. Obama has generated a lot of news by being the first [...]
